Aparna Nancherla

Comedy >

Aparna Nancherla has an intimidating name, but don’t be scared! In fact, she’s quite approachable onstage, from a heckler’s perspective. She’s a joke entrepreneur who pedals in both writing and performance (street names: scribble-scrabble and jibber-jabber). Aparna’s comedic goggles are dry and observational, and her act is sprinkled with absurdist wit and a quasi-whimsical take on the world.

Episodes

Steve Young and Aparna Nancherla talk about words and reading and writing. We find out that Steve?s true dorkdom is murder sites here in Los Angeles. I tell some more of the same stories and neither of us let Aparna talk enough. Gotta get her back on. We never get to hear about one of Steve?s favorite books The Mother Tongue. But we learn, again, that I know less than nothing about music. It?s a good one. Tune the heck in!
